    The readiness of preschool teachers to ensure children’s digital safety (DS) is currently one of the overarching challenges for early childhood education (ECE) systems. Unfortunately, developing countries, particularly Kazakhstan, do not necessarily possess the required resources to run preschool educational programs to ensure children’s DS. This study explores pre-service early childhood educators’ (PSECEs) cognitive, affective, and behavioral attitudes toward supporting DS of preschool children. It also considered PSECEs perceptions of their role and responsibility in supporting preschool children’s DS and their readiness to address these issues in their future professional practice. The research adopted a cross-sectional mixed-methods design without instructional intervention. The study was carried out at the Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University in Almaty, Kazakhstan, with 344 participants in the experiment. The findings highlight the interrelated nature of cognitive, affective, and behavioral components of study participants’ attitudes. Study participants had strong affective engagement. However, the results revealed a noticeable imbalance between emotional concern and practical readiness. This research highlighted that DS content in preschool teacher education programs has not kept up to date with global digital advances. Consequently, there is a need to adopt coherent content of practice-oriented approaches to DS in preschool teacher education programs. This paper further extends the body of theory on PSECEs attitudes toward supporting DS of preschool children and provides new insights into the educator candidates’ cognitive, affective, and behavioral attitudes.

    Integrating the Kumon method into preschool settings requires teaching competencies existing self-efficacy instruments do not capture. This study developed and validated a nine-dimensional preschool teacher self-efficacy scale for Kumon-oriented instruction, spanning child development knowledge, individual assessment, scaffolding, self-directed learning, mastery-based teaching, motivation, family partnership, literacy and mathematics content knowledge, and STEM integration, administered to 204 preschool teachers in southern Kazakhstan. Confirmatory factor analysis supported each subscale (CFI = .953-.999), with high internal consistency across all dimensions (α = .959-.981). Neither Kumon nor STEM teaching experience differentiated self-efficacy scores. Teaching experience showed a non-linear pattern, with mid-career teachers scoring lower than novice and senior teachers; education level had no predictive value. Latent profile analysis identified three distinct profiles, high (41.2%), moderate (40.7%), and low competency (18.1%), with mid-career teachers overrepresented in the low-competency class. STEM integration was consistently the weakest dimension, with implications for professional development in early childhood instruction..
